Who are some fighters who should jump ship from Top Rank to GBP, or vice versa? I think Bradley should go to GBP, as there are WAY more options for him there. Garcia and Maidana would both be good fights for him to take.

Pacquaio was foolish to go to TR because GBP deal was so much better.. I forgot the details but had he gone with gbp, there wouldnt have been any whispers of him being broke.
It's not too late.. he should move when contract is up.
Do you think Bob Arum has been bad for Manny Pacquiao?Quote:

Bradley is a great fighter but only an average WW. He isn't particularly fast, he doesn't have good length or a good punch. He's a relatively smart fighter with huge heart. But GBP has some serious talent and guys like Mayweather or Thurman could knock him down a few pegs.
Over at TR there's really no threats. If you lose to Manny it won't hurt your standing and there's nobody else there to beat him.
Ultimately it's pac's fault for not making the wiser business decision but yea, arum took advantage of him..Quote:

He was obviously not looking at the big picture.

I'm rather sure Pac signed with GBPs but he was still contractually obligated to TR so both took a slice for a while.
Abner Mares career would benefit from a move to TR should he beat Gonzalez. TR has Rigondeux, Lomachenko, Donaire, Walters, Gradovich, Dib, Agbeko & Darchinyan.
The only worth while fight for him would be Leo Santa Cruz, and I say Leo would spark him.
All British fighter should join Fat Mick and fight on channel 5 for free and bring back boxing to the mainstream. It can get big like it use to be when Nigel Benn was around.
The end of that list gets rather used up. Abner vs the beginning of the list would be fun though.Quote:

Brit MW - Mack, Lee and Murray, also Billy Joe Saunders the four of them could be involved in cracking fights but not likely to happen. Mack prob past his prime too.
Even when there is big domestic fight, the rest of the card is pathetic - Groves v Froch, Groves v Degale, Saunders v Ryder (better then most), Haye v Chisora, Haye v Audley.
The sport would grow and become more popular if fights were competitive. UFC fights are nearly always competitive and the sport is growing much quicker then boxing.
